Eric Church

When Nashville singer-songwriter Eric Church issued his debut Capitol CD in 2006, he was astonished when he took its songs on the road. Within months, a cult of rabid followers assembled, packing his shows, singing along to every word, driving hundreds of miles to see him and “spreading the gospel” of his extraordinary music.

The nation’s music critics agreed with the fans. Sinners Like Me was lauded by The Los Angeles Times, People, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter and USA Today, as well as a host of country publications. The New York Times called it “a strong candidate for country album of the year.”

Thanks to Eric Church’s sizable fan base, Sinners Like Me made it into the Top 10 on the country album charts. Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and even legendary rocker Bob Seger became fans and hired Eric as their opening act. So how do you follow a masterwork like that? By creating another one. Carolina, the sophomore album by Eric Church, is another collection of strikingly original songs and sounds. Reflecting the restlessly creative character of its maker, Carolina is even more musically diverse than its illustrious predecessor. “I wanted Carolina to go to some different places,” said Church.
